My girls (3) and I have only lived in apts and they do just fine. I have to admit we rarely go on walks, but they get exercise just running around inside playing with each other. We live on the second floor, and alot of the times I will just let them outside and watch them from the balcony. They know how to go potty, stay out of the street, and come back. I have trained them to no go off the sidewalk into the street.
When I lived in a townhouse they had plenty of room to run around in the house. I had a big grassy area and a privacy fence (Home Depot was on the other side) so I put a stake in the ground and attached 3 leashes so they could enjoy the outside quite frequently. They would let me know when they wanted to come inside. The down side was that the leashes would get so tangled that it took me 15-20 mins to untangle them (I did this 2-3 times a week). |
